Western Counter Set

The American Wild West is one of the most evocative RPG settings, and indeed the Western paper miniatures by Arion Games are one of our most popular sets. Now, based on those sets, we bring you a Western Counter set, specially designed for ease of use with most virtual tabletop software.The high quality png images in this set provide quality and quantity (nearly 50 characters and nearly 150 individual images!), enabling you to represent your game online.

This is a great product. Since I've started running a couple of games using a virtual table top, I'm looking for as many of these as possible. These work great for Deadlands! Arion Games, please convert more of your sets to counters! [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
